body shaming those you dislike still hits those you like.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

All the fat people I know don’t consider themselves to be cop material, because they aren’t unbelievably stupid like these icebergs.

[–] phr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

then blame cops for being cops.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago

You do accept that not all body types are appropriate for all occupations, right? Or are you really that far off the performative bleeding heart deep end?

Oh Jesus fucking Christ, nobody cares.

I don't know anyone of that girth

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

So only the people that you know deserve respect? /s

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 8 points 22 hours ago

I used to be that girthy and would support the sentiment then and now.

Boooo, wokescolding running defense for fascists.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, if you get that big, there's something wrong with you generally, or in my grandmother's case she just never exercised, and ate junk food.

In anycase, body positivity toward that isn't exactly something I would encourage.

calling names isn't a way to motivate someone to live a healthier live. plus, is it really our responsibility?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

No one is trying to motivate these shitbags to live a healthier life.

They're pointing out that these people who often claim to be part of "the master race", are some of the worst specimens of humanity, from a multitude of unhealthy angles

[–] phr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

it. is. not. about. the. cops.

i feel like i clarified that enough for someone who never said something remotely in defense of ice.

antifascism that does not care about people they claim to protect (those with bodies that are deemed sub optimal, the "degenerates", the "perverts", the racialized ...) is pointless at best.

there are more insults, not only those that shit on whole groups of people.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not calling anybody names for being overweight, but im not going to do what OP said either and give anybody a spiel about how we come in all different shapes and sizes. That's not body positivity in this case. Its just lying to someone who needs a lifestyle change.

I challenge you to find a single person offended by this who isn't law enforcement or chronically online.

I didn't know that was a thing until now. It will now enter my lexicon.

Nah, I got plenty of insults for fascists without needing to stoop to something as crude as body shaming.

Makes me wonder if ICE agents are so shunned irl as in media. Also, if they are so vicious, who risks calling them that? Also, is obesity really that bad in the US? The tourists and people who moved to my country from the US sure carry a bit (or a bit more) extra in most cases, but it can't be that bad, can it?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

There's plenty of videos of people mocking them in airports. Hell they get heckled in the streets, too. They're generally only assaulting people during one of their hit and run abductions.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

If you go visit the US and travel away from the wealthy parts of the country, or if you go to a local tourist attraction that might appeal to a wide variety of locals, you'll get to see more typical people.

The average is just a bit large (more large than in most places, but not crazily so), but you'll also meet quite a few land whales.

[–] zemo@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

It is that bad. The Americans who move to or visit Europe need funds and incentive to do that, which does not overlap with the poorest (and fattest) Americans.

Does that mean if they're married their wives are Titanics?

[–] Hodor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago

An even bigger stick in the mud

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago

I mean no reason to limit to the obese nowadays ice bergs are smaller than ever.
